FTA-Abs is a treponemal test for syphilis. Using antibodies specific for the Treponema pallidum species, such tests are more specific than non-treponemal testing such as VDRL. In addition, FTA-Abs turns positive earlier and remains positive longer than VDRL. Other treponemes, such as T. pertenue, may also produce a positive FTA-Abs.
